End-to-end wizard from /hosts/{id}/restore (or per-snapshot deep link
/hosts/{id}/snapshots/{sid}/restore) → tree-browse → dispatch →
restore-shaped live job page.
Backend (internal/server/http/ui_restore.go):
- GET handlers render the four-step wizard against the wireframe shape
in docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-p3-restore-design.md.
- HTMX tree partial endpoint hits fetchTreeWithCache (P3-X2) so each
directory expansion is a sub-second cached lookup after the first
miss.
- POST validates: snapshot_id non-empty, ≥1 absolute path, in-place
mode requires confirm_hostname == host name, agent online. On error
re-renders the wizard with the operator's input intact. Happy path
mints a job_id, computes the new-directory target as
/var/restic-restore/<job-id>/ (operator can't escape the prefix —
server picks it), creates the job row, ships command.run with
kind=restore + RestorePayload, writes a host.restore audit row,
returns HX-Redirect (or 303) to the live job page.
Templates:
- host_restore.html: single-page progressively-enabled wizard matching
_diag/p3-restore-wizard wireframe. Form-state-driven JS computes a
running tally of selected paths and the step-4 confirm summary
client-side; the server re-renders on validation failure with form
fields preserved.
- partials/tree_node.html: recursive HTMX-served tree fragment.
- Top-level Restore button on host_detail right rail + per-snapshot
Restore action on snapshot rows replace the previous P3-stub.
Restore-shaped job page (job_detail.html):
- Progress widget rendered as a panel rather than a bare strip when
the job is active.
- Current-file display under the bar, updated from log.stream stdout
lines that look like absolute paths. Hidden for non-restore kinds.
Migration 0012:
- Add restore + diff to the jobs.kind CHECK. Rebuild required (SQLite
can't ALTER CHECK in place); follows the safe pattern from 0005.
Defensive: stash job_logs into a temp table before the rebuild and
INSERT OR IGNORE back afterwards so even if SQLite cascades on
DROP TABLE jobs the log history survives.
Tests:
- ui_restore_test covers GET step-1 render, GET pre-selected snapshot
summary card, POST missing snapshot, POST missing paths, POST
in-place wrong-hostname rejection (no command.run leaks to the
agent), POST happy path (HX-Redirect + correct payload + audit
row), POST against offline host returns 503.
Restage block (CLAUDE.md) deferred to the end of the restore phase.
restic-manager
Self-hosted, browser-based, single-pane-of-glass for managing restic backups across a fleet of Linux and Windows endpoints.
Status: pre-alpha. Phase 0 (project bootstrap) complete; Phase 1 (MVP) in progress. See
spec.mdfor the design andtasks.mdfor the roadmap.
What it does (target)
- Central visibility into backup state for every endpoint
- Trigger any restic operation remotely (
backup,forget,prune,check,unlock,snapshots,stats,diff,restore) - Manage per-host backup schedules from the UI
- Live job progress streamed back to the UI
- Restore wizard (browse snapshots, pick paths, restore to original or alternate host)
- Repo health surfacing (size, dedup ratio, last check, lock state)
- Alerting on failure or staleness
- Cross-platform agent (Linux + Windows)
- Ransomware-resistant repo access via append-only credentials
Architecture (one-line summary)
A small Go control-plane on the Proxmox host, lightweight Go agents on each
endpoint that hold an outbound WebSocket to the control-plane, and a
restic/rest-server on Unraid that holds the actual backup data. The
control-plane never touches backup bytes.

Local development
Requires Go 1.25+ (built and tested on 1.26). The floor is set by
modernc.org/sqlite v1.50.
make build # builds cmd/server and cmd/agent into ./bin
make test # runs go test ./...
make lint # runs golangci-lint
make run-server # runs the server (dev defaults)
